For Israel to turn Gaza into a prison and not let any aid in is a crime against humanity, there are innocent men, women and children in there.

4th Geneva Convention Part III : Status and treatment of protected persons Section I: Provisions common to the territories of the parties to the
conflict and to occupied territories

Article 33

No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of
intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. Pillage is prohibited.
Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited. Wiki

...speaks specifically to that fact regarding collective punishment.
It's against articles of the Geneva convention as well as the U.N.

I don't see how anyone could support such a criminal act.

I don't go along with the notion that "someone shot rockets so they all should suffer and die."

well its a simple answer. they have separation of religion and state. Hamas does Not.
and they dont kill people for the sake of God and going to heaven, hamas does.

From all yer posts in this thread it seems to me like you have a problem with the MUSLIM RELIGION, and less so with the Muslim Countries....THAT is
the definition of anti-Semitic.... as opposed to the people who criticize Israel's GOVERNMENT, NOT their religion....

While I'll agree that Hamas is definitely not the best political group to be running Gaza, it's a bit stupid to argue that middle eastern countries
suck because they follow the Muslim religion..........

The illegal boarding, raiding, and blowing away passengers was not the route to take.
Especially when you knew there were alternatives but thought this heavy-handed bloody approach would deter support for the ending of your illegal
blockade.

It not only drew attention to it, but allowed the international community to lambast you and the other Israeli leaders for allowing and condoning such
acts of barbarism.

So how come the Egyptians wont let them in Egypt???????
Why dont the Egyptians give them a piece of the Sinai?
Its huge and mostly uninhabited?
With a birth rate of 8 there will be 20 billion Gazans in about 160 years. Thats 3 times the total present population of the world.
They will have to take over the entire world to have any room.

Half the pro israeli posts have been from members who joined in the last 4 days.
ATS membership must have jumped 20%
When this blows over they will dissapear

Is that you "professional opinion" as a spin doctor ?

For your information, ATS had a LOT of well educated diverse crowd many of whom supported Israel, its just that they have moved on to more intelligent
fora where they don't need to march to a prescribed tune!

Masked gunmen from an Islamist group torched a UN-run summer camp for children and teens in Gaza on Sunday, Army Radio reported, the top UN aid
official in Gaza said.

John Ging says the assailants tied up the guard early Sunday, burned tents and vandalized bathrooms. UN officials say the attackers left behind three
bullets and a note threatening to kill Ging and others unless the UN cancels its activities for some 250,000 Gaza children.

Two days before the incident, the previously unknown "The Free of the Homeland" group issued a statement criticizing the camp's organizer, the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), for "teaching schoolgirls fitness, dancing and immorality."

In response to Hamas' wave of arrests against the Popular Resistance Committees and Salafi-jihadi groups in Gaza, suspected of involvement in violent
incidents including the arson of an UNRWA summer camp, members of these organizations condemned Hamas and said that it itself had been behind the
incidents and the arson attack.

Hey I'm all for healthy debate but I'm sure I'm not the only one that has noticed the influx in the last few days.
And these new members are amonst the most active posters I've seen.
Heck they are at it over 8 hours straight sometimes.
Must almost seem like a job to them..
